Not your usual teen coming-of-age movie

(Starts at 7:42)

When filmmaker Desiree Akhavan read Emily M. Danforth's coming-of-age teen novel, "The Miseducation of Cameron Post," when it came out in 2012, she knew she wanted to turn it into a film. Not because she was looking to tell a story about gay conversion therapy, which the book is about, but because she knew she could turn it into the kind of teen movie she wished she'd seen when she was growing up. Akhavan's debut feature, the 2014 movie, "Appropriate Behavior," was largely based on her own experience coming out as bisexual to her Iranian immigrant parents. In "The Miseducation of Cameron Post," Chloe Grace Moretz plays the title character who's sent to a boarding school called "God's Promise" to rid herself of "SSA" — same-sex attraction. Akhavan spoke with The Frame host John Horn about the film and why it's meant so much to her.
